Of course I agree with you. This isn't a time for reprisals - this is a time for sitting down and creating a world peace.

"Make love not war" - is was an inspired person who said that, don't you think?

Krans,

I think that you have hit the nail on the head there. Retaliatory strikes will not bring back the dead. They may satisfy (in the short term) the need for vengence, but in the long term all that will happen is the loss of thousands, if not millions, more lives.

Terrorism must be eradicated from this planet. But the destruction of Ben Laden will only serve to increase his popularity and status amongst those that follow him.

It is sad to think that in the world today, the majority of conflicts going on are based around religion. I cannot think of a religion that actively promotes violence against another human. Does it really matter whether I believe in God, Allah or Buddah? No. What matters is that I have the right to choose who or what I believe in, and that every other person on the planet has that right to choose. More importantly than that though, is that we do not persecute anyone for their choice of belief.

America has suffered this awful tragedy. As a Nation, Britain will stand by your side and help in any way that we can, as will many other nations who are just as appalled and saddened as we are.

God bless America.
God save the Queen.

Were you serious when you wrote this?

"Bin Laden, or whoever did this"... so you will wage war without proof?

It must surely be a hoax posting.
